Tempted by the CEO Chapter 7
Lana~Eyes fluttered, I groaned slightly as I shifted, the sun already up and disturbing my sleep. I snuggled even more against the bed, feeling the softness against my body. I couldn’t help whining slightly as the sun shone brightly against my face, disrupting my sleep. It was gone just like it came, now there was a soothing yet relieving shade covering my eye. Wait, shade? Soothing shade?My eyes shot open only to Aaron peering down at me, creased lines against forehead, tongue poking at his right cheek. Hair tousled roughly but not too rough. His eyes widen as soon as our eyes met, his face was inches away from mine. He is the shade covering the sun from me. I felt my heart flutter at the thought but shoved it to the back. Watching Aaron’s eyes drop to my lips, he swallowed visibly. Jumping back slightly, he almost tumbled off the bed. “Fuck, are you okay?” I ask, sitting up immediately, jumping to grab his wrist only to fall on his chest, his hand wrapped around my waist to s

Lana~A groan escaped my lips as my eyes flutter open, taking a look around where we are. “Oh, you’re awake. I was just about to come wake you up, we’ve arrived in NewYork.” Aaron spoke from behind. I sat up, sleep clearing from my eyes almost immediately. “Let’s go. I got your things packed up.” He says again, stretching his hand forward to help me stand up. I look at his hand for some seconds and slid my hand in his. Aaron smiled widely as we got down from the plane. I spent the last seven hours sleeping and now feel weak to my bones.Minutes later I found myself outside the airport with Aaron. “Come on, the car is here.” He tells me, tucking his phone into his pockets as he nudged me to move. Instead I shook my head, looking into my phone. The driver is just a minute away.“You don’t have to worry sir, Sasha and Ellie are picking me up.” I lied confidently. Sasha and Ellie don’t even know I’m back in NewYork talk less of coming to pick me at the airport.“What?” Aaron blanched. I

Lana~"What?”Sasha and Ellie stare at me shocked. Why? Because I told them I have a date with Nathan.“Lana, what are you doing?” Ellie asked, placing her hand over mine, eyes filled with care and worry. I glanced at Sasha who had the same look in her eyes.“Lana, are you sure? Nathan?” Sasha asked.“Yeah, stop behaving like I gave you an invitation to my funeral. It’s just a date to see if something can develop between the both of us.” I replied confidently but the look on their faces tells me they don’t believe my bullshit. “That’s preposterous, Lana. Nathan has been trying to go out with you for two years! He’s flirted and basically done everything in the books to make sure you date him but you’ve always turned him down, you’ve behaved like you don’t see him and now it’s convenient for you to just opt for him like he’s a second option?” Sasha snapped.I raised my eyes at her, surprised at her outburst. “Sasha!” Ellie calls out her name.“Face it, Ellie. Lana is being an ass to Na

Lana~I woke up the next day, feeling cramped up and tired like I ran a marathon yesterday even if I did none of that. I groaned, getting off the bed, my joints still feeling cramped.I walked to the bathroom, splashing water on my face, I grabbed the face towel by the door and wiped my wet face, staring at my reflection in the mirror.My brown eyes seemed so dull, eyes puffy and face swollen. Oh, I had doughnuts last night. That’s why I feel like a bloated goat. I stood up straight, putting the towel back on the door and grabbed a robe, wrapping it around my naked frame. I glanced at the time to see it’s 11-30 am. Thankfully today’s a Saturday which makes it okay to sleep in.I stepped out of the room, glancing at the room next to mine. Sasha cried herself to sleep last night even after we spoke. I could hear her sobs as I struggled to sleep but couldn’t. I contemplated going to comfort her but gave it up. She probably needs to cry alone for some time.I let my feet carry me to th

Lana~“So…” Ellie dragged out, the sound of her fork dropping to the plate clicked hard. “Sasha said you have some news for us, so?” I pretended to not know what she’s talking about, dead on pretending to be unaware.“Please, Mine can wait but yours! Yours is more juicer. What happened to the story?” Ellie asked and Sasha snorts. I threw her a dirty look and she rolled her eyes.“So? What happened to the plot? You both were sucking each other’s face.” Ellie wiggles her eyebrows suggestively.“Well, turns out we both had a miscommunication. He likes me and we’re going on a date.” I say and Sasha squealed hard while Ellie groaned.I covered my ears, shooting a glare at her. “What? I’m allowed to squeal seeing as I won a hundred bucks.” Sasha says smugly, now sitting down. “Uh? How did you win? From what?” I asked, confused and Sasha groaned.“Ellie here was confident that your trip to Greece would do nothing to bring out your very obvious crush on him.” She deadpanned. I gaped at them

Aaron~“Do you realize were being a fool and won’t have known if I didn’t tell you?” Kai asked, quirking an eyebrow up, trying so hard to concede his his smug look.I rolled my eyes, gulping the rest of the red wine. “I asked her out on a date.” I chose to reply instead. Kai chuckled, dropping his glass cup on the table and leaned to stretch.“Be good to her.” He says or warned. I quirked an eyebrow up, wondering why he think I won’t be good to her and even more why he is warning me for her.“Just like you be good to Cecilia.” I shot back, watching him groan at the mention of his ex.“Speaking about exes, where has your creepy ex been? Haven’t heard from her in a while.” He says. I was immediately reminded of her message to be back in Greece, choosing to brush it off instead.“Meh, I couldn’t care less and I’m just happy I don’t get to hear from her anymore.” Kai hummed, raking his hair backwards.“Whatever you say man, Where is Asher?” He asks. The door suddenly opens, revealing th

Lana~The pile of papers hit the table loudly. A satisfied grin laid at the corner of my lips. "You good back there?” Natalie’s voice boomed through the store room. “Yeah, got what I needed and will be out of your hair.” I yelled back, leaning down to pick the papers. I walked out of the store, coughing slightly at the amount of dust in the store room.Sasha owes me a lot for helping her get this down here. I clutch the papers against my chest as I climbed the stairs up. “It’s a mess down there and we haven’t gotten the time to clear it up. I’m sorry you got choked.” Natalie says apologetically, tucking her hand into the pockets of her green suit.“Eh, it’s fine but you guys should really find a way to clean back there. I’m not sure Mr Carlsen would like to see that.” I say, quirking an eyebrow up so she could see how serious I am being.Natalie grimaced, probably imagining of Aaron’s reaction when he sees the huge mess down there. “Yeah, we will get it sorted out. Thanks for stoppi

Lana~“That’s it.” I grinned as I hopped into the car. Aaron glanced at me, a tired smile laid on his lips.“I’m glad.” He whispers, taking my hand in his. “We can leave now.” I tell the driver that merely nodded. Aaron brings up my hand and kisses it softly, shutting his eyes close. “How far is your house from here?” I asked“Twenty minutes.” He replied without looking up at me. I hummed as we drove out of the company. Aaron went silent but his grasp on my hand still tight.I took the opportunity to look at him properly again, his long lashes sat prettily. At this point I’m convinced it’s some sorcery because why are his lashes longer than mine. “Creep.” He mutters, his eyes shooting open. I felt a blush creep up my face, he caught me staring at him.“Don’t worry, I like it when you look at me and only me.” He tells me, pulling me closer to him.“You shouldn’t be displaying much strength, you’re sick.” I scolded and he rolled his eyes. “Are you going to be my nurse too?”“Exactly

EpilogueAaron~I had less than ten minutes to get to her house, ten minutes to catch her before she leaves me for ever. Am I being dramatic? Maybe but it’s been too long and I can’t let it go on even more. My phone began to ring again, I glanced at the caller I’d to see Kai’s name displayed on the front screen. I put my AirPods into my ear and swiped right.“Where are you? Are you almost there?” Kia rushes out. I roll my eyes just as I take a turn. Why in God’s name does the police station have to be so far from her house. I let out a frustrated growl when I approach the traffic light, stopping the car.I have less than five minutes to go. “I’m almost at hers. I really hope she’s still there. God, I can’t take it if she’s not there.” My heart beat was going a hundred mile per second on the thought of not meeting her there. I would simply not be able to stand it.“Good luck!” Kai cuts the call. I gnawed know my lower lip as I look out the windshield, the numbed still going slowly. I

Aaron~The next day I woke up to a my phone incessant ringing. A grunt escapes my lips as I open my eyes, struggling to sit up and then reach for my phone. An unknown number was displayed on the screen.I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering who it could be. I swiped right, placing the phone against my ear.“Is this Mr Aaron Carlsen? We are calling from Area one police station regarding your complaint. We have arrested one miss Andrea Dawson for drugging against consent. Your presence is required." The person tells me. I felt my heart beat hike up to a thirty just on hearing Andrea has now been arrested. I remember spending the night speaking to Kai and telling him what had happened. I didn’t think she would be arrested so fast too. Oh well."Thank you, I’ll come soon.” I cut the call and got up from the bed, walked to the bathroom and had my bath. I stepped out a few minutes later, changed into something more comfortable for today and walked out of the room when I was done. I put my car ke

Aaron~“Where are you going to?” Father holds my arm, eyes boring into mine.“Where am I going to?“ I scoffed, jerking his hand away from me “I’m going to lay a complaint about your wife and Andrea drugging me, your son. Not like you care.” I rolled my eyes.“We’re coming with you, Aaron.” Asher piped up from he says with Rue.Father sighs, running his hand through his hair. “But, how and why would Melanie want to drug you?” He asks again“I don’t know, why not ask her since she’s standing over there.” I point at Melanie who had her arm wrapped over her chest, definitely not going to back down easily.“Fine! Call the police but I’ll tell them the same thing I told you, I had nothing to do with whatever is going on with you.” She counters and I chuckle“Really? That’s what you’re still going by? You did nothing but you met up with Levi and asked that he keeps what he saw that night a secret. You met him at the coffee shop and yet you’re lying through your rotten teeth. You do know that

Aaron~“What the actual fuck!” Kai exclaims, I couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly. “Yeah, she turned my life into some sick ass soap opera. Andrea managed to drug me and Melanie paid the one person who knew it about off. I mean, I knew she was vile and all of that but never did it cross my mind that she’s actually this crazy.” I shudder internally on remembering just how surprised she was when she found out Lana broke up with me. Such a silly fake person.“So what are you going to do? Talk to Melanie? Andrea or Lana?” He asks and I sighed over the phone, I look up at the house I was currently facing.“Looks like it’s Melanie. I’m tired of her bullshit and it’s time she knows that."“I wish I was there for emotionally support and also see the tea. I wish you the best.” I chuckled over the phone, pushing the car doors open and stepped out, placing the phone properly against my ear.“Yeah, yeah, do you.” I cut the call, placing it into my pocket and walked towards the door. I had texted

Aaron~“So what you’re saying is, you think your stepmother might have something to do with this?” Ellie deadpans. “Well, she’s always wanted Andrea for me and it just seemed weird that Andrea was at the same place as I was and I’m sure you know it’s very weird that Melanie was with Levi, like what could be the relationship between them?” I ask, watching every of their faces.“Man.,this is more complicated than I thought. I’m sorry but your stepmother is a fucking wimp. If this is true and she’s toying with your life then it’s better you call her out on it. This is fucking ridiculous.” Sasha exclaims.“And what if it isn’t? What if you did cheat on Lana and all of these are just some fucked up reasoning you came up with? What if you did cheat on her, then what?” Ellie asks instead. I felt my resolve crumble as I look at her.She’s right. What if I did cheat on Lana. What if I’m not innocent and Melanie actually knows Levi from somewhere, then what? “I doubt that he did. Even before t

Oh sweetie" Sasha blurts out as soon as she sees me, immediately rushing to my side. She holds my arm, Pulling me closer to her."Hey." I whisper, voice hprase from all the crying ive been doing all day."I heard what happened and just so you know, he will get what's coming to him for even daring to look at another when you were in a relationship with him. I really can't believe the nerve of men."I couldn't help but chuckle on seeing seeing her talk so fiercly about it. "I'm sorry this is happening to you because you on't deserve any of this."I glance at Ellie who was staring at Sasha and I, her arms wrapped agaisnt her chest, she had the softest yet saddest smile on her face."Will you eat something?" Ellie voices out and just at that moment did i realise just how late it ws already, my eyes straying to the wall clock hanging on the wall."I- It's so late." I state but it coes out as a question instead. I sihed, shaking my head "Im not hungry,." I reply, manuvering my way to the co

Aaron~The next day, I wake up very much out of it. A grunt escapes my lips as I sit up, supporting myself with my hands. My head feels like it’s been pounded on severally. I squinted my eyes, rubbing my hand through my face. I went to the club with Kai and… I struggled to remember what happened and once again, found myself cursing at my memory. Why the fuck won’t I remember anything. This is very much embarrassing and tiring. Just how much did I..I didn’t get to finish that train of thought as the images of yesterday night came flashing through my head. Kai forcing me to stop drinking. Kai bringing me back home. Kai helping me to the bed. I tempered everything but it cost me another rush of headache.I sighed, getting up from the bed only to see that I am still in last night clothe. Kai could’ve at least helped me to change. I walk to the bathroom, stripping off my clothes and stepped into the shower to take a cold bath. My head still banging so hard.I finished bathing and stepped

Aaron ~“Hey! Watch it. You’re drinking way too much than you should.” Kai says, taking the bottle of alcohol away.“Just leave me. I’m so fucked, Kai. I’m so fucking fucked. I have no idea what to do so please, leave me to do what I want.” I snapped, grabbing the bottle back from him.We are in our favorite spot, we’d usually come here whenever we need a break from things. Whenever we feel tired and just need a moment to ourselves, you’d usually find us here.“Drinking isn’t going to solve half of what is happening to you now. Get your ass up and stop drinking so much.” He grabs the bottle back, his tone made it clear that he wouldn’t be giving me back,“Kai, things are so bad right now.” I tell him and he hums.“I feel so choked up. I spend nights trying to think and remember what happened that night. There is this huge burden on my shoulders. Lana refuses to speak to me. There is father, Melanie , the company’s new Mr Chen of Thai. I feel so bad, I’ve been working so hard on that c

Lana~“Do you have the silver hoops? I need it for my dress, it would look magnificent.” Sasha bursts into my room, already dressed and and missing a earring. My eyes sweeped over her Look, a smile making it was to my lips."Whoo.” I whistled, watching Sasha’s face burn bright pink. She had a short blue dress that settled just below her ass, showing a lot more cleavage. Her hair was rolled and brushed down, lips coated in red."If you weren’t in a situationship with Kai then be sure that I would date the duck out of you right now. How can you look so hot?” “There is no situationship with Kai. I thought I liked him and that’s all there is to it. I don’t like him anymore though so it’s fine.” She says and I pause for a second, the silver hoop she was asking for was in my hands.“Sasha..” I trail off, removing our conversation in Grenada. I don’t know what’s happening with her especially with Kai and her. what I do know is that Sasha is very scared and with good reasons too.“Let’s not
